Course description | In the final year, candidates will be expected to produce three components of written work for assessment.
Candidates will be asked to synthesise the knowledge gained during the first two years of the course to critique and design an e-Protocol. This will be a detailed and practical design of a clinical trial based on material provided, which will also include writing an ethics application. The e-Protocol will adhere to accepted industry and regulatory standards and will be a maximum of 6000 words long.
In addition, candidates will be expected to produce an e-Poster where they will be asked to translate the findings of a clinical trial for presentation to their peers in the form of a conference poster. This will consist of approximately 1000 words plus appropriate graphics and illustrations.
Finally, candidates will be expected to produce a reflective account of their experience throughout the course. This will show how they plan to apply new knowledge of clinical trial design and delivery in practice. This will be a maximum of 3500 words. |
